Esther, you are one of the finest women I have ever had the privilege of knowing. You welcomed my family into yours with an open and loving heart. You were a spectacular mother, wife, and grand mother to everyone in your family. So many people have benefitted from your wisdom and your kindness, which, along with your keen mind and wonderful sense of humor, cannot be replaced. I know you are now with your loving husband Ray, your sons Jimmy and George, and all of your family and friends that have already passed. But I was not ready to let you go, and my love for you will never diminish. I will see you in a blink of the eye, all in God’s time.

Oh nana how I’m going to miss your beautiful face, the way you loved to hold hands and hug and snuggle, the way you smelled and laughed. The way you made me feel beautiful and smart! You showed us nothing but love through out my life, whether we were near or far from you and Tata I knew you loved us and would have me back no matter where I’d been. I was blessed beyond words to have been placed in your family, between you both and the amazing aunties and uncles you raised, I’ve never wanted for anything especially love! I will never forget that! Until we meet again, in perfection and paradise…..your granddaughter Kelly

thank you Cousin Esther for your love and caring throughout the years. We always looked forward to the gatherings and parties you and your family shared. I have wonderful memories and can still picture you with your sisters and my mom sitting in the backyard laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Thank you for giving me 10 beautiful cousins who are as loving as you and Cousin Ray. Enjoy and celebrate with all who welcomed you and give Virgie and Frankie Chavez a kiss for me!!

Esther was an amazing woman full of spunk, energy, love and a kindred spirit. I’ll always remember her this way! I’m honored that I was able to know her. Your family was blessed to have such a matriachal woman like her in your lives. And she was equally blessed to have such an amazing family like the Chavez.
My deepest condolences. I know your family will lean on each other and look to your faith to see you through this very difficult time.
Esther will truly be missed.

To the family and dear friends, we are very sorry for your loss. We would like to extend our condolences and please share a scripture for comfort. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Revelation 21:4) Please continue to love and support one another, especially during this time. May God bring you hope and peace through his loyal love. -Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 55:1-3 With deep sympathy and heartfelt prayer.

All of the Trujillo family offer our condolences and prayers on the passing of your Mother, Esther Chavey.
My son John told me that your Mother asked about me when he attended George’s funeral service. As you know, John also passed away this year on February 1.
I started to pray for your family when I heard that George passed. I will continue to pray for all of you.
God Bless you,
Jessie Trujillo and family
